Russian senator to German politician: Did you get little in 1945? Do you want more?
The European Union is introducing sanctions against Russia to the detriment of the economies of European countries.
Senator Andrei Klimov, a member of the Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs, stated this during a press conference in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Sometimes you listen to our opponents (European - approx. ed.), and it seems that only one hemisphere is working for them, or maybe even 1/10 of it.
There is such a chairman of the European People's Party, Weber, this is the largest faction in the European Parliament. Nothing has happened yet, and he is already guaranteeing us new - so-called new sanctions, although they can only be imposed by the UN Security Council.
And he himself is from Bavaria. My first question is: did the Russophobes receive little there in May 1945? Do you want more? Do they want to bring the situation to the point where it is resolved in a way other than political and diplomatic? - said Klimov.
He recalled Europe's dependence on Russian gas, or supplies for Airbus and Boeing.
“Are they going to continue to fly across the sky on brooms, including into space? Have they thought about this? We are decent people, we comply with our contractual obligations, and we believe that these are normal transactions. And this German thought that we have two thousand German companies working for us - does he want to deprive all these people of their jobs and income? How will he then look into the eyes of his voters, including in Bavaria? What does he think to do with investors who have invested money in Russia and may lose on his tricks?
Broadcast exactly the same thing to Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland. And you get an interesting picture - according to our calculations, the real losses from sanctions against Russia are measured in many billions of euros per year. They've already lost roughly a quarter of a trillion since 2014. Few?
But the Russian Federation will clearly defend its national interests. Profitable - we work, not profitable - sorry. We try not to mix politics with business,” Klimov concluded.
